2014 NFL Draft Prospects

He is a great runner but he's on the smaller side and I'm guessing he's a 4.5 speed guy. If he had 4.3 speed and could pass block he could be a first rounder. I love he frequently makes the first guy miss a high percentage of the time and looks like he has GREAT vision. Very shifty!

well hopefully he don't get faster and we can get him in the 2nd but I doubt it leading rusher in the nation last year had over 120 yards vs Stanford whos top 5 rush d in the nation dudes a beast plus he grew up around me, not that I know him but I know plenty of people whoi know him so thatd be kinda cool

With the NFL (rightfully) questioning the long term value of running backs and whether they should be taken in round 1, I think the trend will be take an elite explosive rb (ala CJ or Jamaal Charles) or a mamouth RB with speed.

I think a great RB with avg speed will go bottom 1-2 depending on team needs and who drafts where. He reminds me of Emmitt Smith's skill set. Not saying he's gonna be a HOF'r or anything, just he has similar attributes. Also, unlike some of the other backs that mostly are speed backs playing in spread offenses where they can just run away from ppl, Carey runs out of heavy formations too and is just as good between the tackles. Very good player! Depending on his speed, I think he goes somewhere between 2nd and 3rd rounds and will be a steal for someone (especially if they have an OL and a good QB).

Right now I'd guess Seastrunk goes ahead of him if he runs as fast as I expect.

1. Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville (Jr.): He has a rocket for an arm, plays in a pro-style offense and has the size teams love. He will be the No. 1 pick next April.

2. Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina (Jr.): He is a pass-rush freak. He has explosive speed off the edge and plays with a nasty streak. What's not to like?

3. Cyrus Kouandjio, T, Alabama (Jr): He is a better pro prospect in my mind than former teammate D.J. Fluker, who went 12th to San Diego this year. Plus, he's a left tackle.

4. Marqise Lee, WR, USC (Jr.): He is big, long, fast and plays in a pro-style offense. He is special.

5. Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson: He has the arm and the ability to spread the football around. And he's accurate. He can also run now that he has trimmed down. He is a dual-threat quarterback, but more of a passer than you think.

6. Adrian Hubbard, OLB, Alabama (Jr.): When studying the Alabama tape this year, my eyes were drawn to him. He can be a special edge rusher in a 3-4.

7. Jake Matthews, T, Texas A&M: The son of Hall of Fame guard Bruce Matthews, he is a force who will move to left tackle this season with Luke Joeckel gone to the Jaguars.

8. Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson (Jr.): Can he fly or what? Speed, speed, and more speed. He was the Tigers' best receiver, not DeAndre Hopkins, who was a first-round pick by Houston last week.

9. Louis Nix III, DT, Notre Dame (Jr.): One of the big reasons Manti Te'o got to make a lot of plays was Nix in the middle of the line creating havoc. Nix is a power player who also has good quickness.

10. Taylor Lewan, T, Michigan: He did a much better job against Clowney than he got credit for in that bowl game. He has the feet you need to play left tackle on the next level.

11. Kyle Von Noy, OLB, BYU: When studying Ziggy Ansah, this kid showed up a ton on tape. I was shocked he went back to BYU. He reminds me of Brad Van Pelt, an old-time Giants linebacker.

12. Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame (Jr.): He is a 300-pound end who can run. He had 12 sacks last season for a good Irish defense.

13. Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA: He is an edge rusher who is ideal for any 3-4 team. Those guys always have great value. He is a great athlete who can run at 6-5, 245.

14. Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State (Jr.): He is a smooth cover corner who isn't tall at 5-11, but he can play man coverage and he's good at it.

15. C.J. Mosley, OLB, Alabama: From a talent standpoint, he might be the most talented of the Alabama players. But his position doesn't have the value of the others.

16. David Fales, QB, San Jose State: Most haven't seen him play. If you haven't, watch him this year. He is big, strong and has a good arm. He completed 72.4 percent of his passes last season.

I think an underrated player that should be posted is Jonathan Querisma out of Troy University. Watching spring ball he has a real physical presence and outstanding leaping ability. Due to some off field situations I believe his film limitage is the only thing keeping his stock at the level it is. Great break on the ball when in the air. We need more cover guys in the secondary with this coming years draft picks, I definitely wouldnt mind him being one of them.

Calvin Pryor(Louisville) is also a name we should keep close. Pryor and Querisma (Troy) both attended high school in northwest florida region. Pryor is a great physical specimen. The guy can really move at 213 lbs and help with run support. He would be a great rover in our scheme. Big time hitter and plays ball in air at high point. I believe he would go before Querisma at this point. I would classify Pryor as a run stopper with some ball skills, and Querisma more of a man to man cover guy.

Note: Although we save a ton by the cuts, I don't want to go out and spend it all. Reason is we have Jake Locker, Nate Washington, Michael Roos, George Wilson, Akeem Ayers, Jurrell Casey, and Karl Klug hitting free agency after next year.

Note: We must resign the players listed above mostly Verner, Pollard, and Pitoitua. Our #1 needs would then be: OT, DE, MLB, and RB/CB depth. I have a feeling Shonn will impress us when he returns. Our line is built for a one-cut RB, not a speed back like CJ. I'd love to pickup a vet NB, somebody like Tillman - but I don't think we can invest a ton of money in CB with Verner/McCourty being locked up. Hopefully Sensabaugh impresses me these final 10 games.

Draft gives us a pass-rusher, we now have Morgan, Pito, Murphy, & Edwards to rotate at DE. 2nd round OT is asked to come in right away and replace Sterwart, potentially replace Roos the following year. Grice + Greene handle the running game. Wentworth is another OT to develop for a year, with the potential of seeing playing time year #2. Garoppolo is Rustys replacement, then potential #2 QB (with Fitz expiring) in year 2. Jean-Baptiste is a hard hitting 6'2 CB. We love our late round CBs, lets see if we can find a gem. Draft leaves us needing a MLB, as I don't trust McCarthy of Fouku, perhaps switch ZB to MLB and Gooden starts OLB. Main free agent targets: MLB, OLB, vet #3 RB, & cheap vet CB.

Draft:Round 1: James Hurst, OT, UNC -- A day one starter for our OL that can swing to LT once Roos starts to falterRound 2: Zach Mettenberger, QB, LSU -- With Locker going into his FA year we need to take out an insurance policy in case he fails. Mettenberger has really improved this season and has a big arm that can get the ball to our talent WR core. Round 3:traded to the 49ersRound 4: Charlie Sims, HB, West Virginia -- Sims is a talented back with amazing receiving skills who should complement Shonn Greene very well.Round 5: Best DE/S/OT availableRound 6: Best DE/S/OT availableRound 7: Best DE/S/OT available
